hi i am a bit curios i was just looking for the new bottle (bpa free) on the internet because a few things changed sinced i had graham what all you new mums are looking for? ex. washable nappies biodegradable nappies clothes etc
 
I am moving this to the parents forum as a more appropriate message board
 
From the Freecycle emails I get, there's lots of passing on of baby / chil equipment, clothing etc.
 
Hiya...

We've used Tommee Tippee bottles for both - they are 'wide necked' and seem to be good if you need to combine breast / bottle feeding (we did with both!)... Have to say Tommee Tippee does seem generally to be a good reliable brand... Both kids have had Aptamil milk & got on fine with it, although C had reflux...we took her to the docs & were prescribed infant gaviscon, which worked wonders!

We used a cold water sterilizer last time round, it was a bit pants really as too much faff - this time round I bought a steam sterilizer & it seems to work better in terms of somehow it's easier to keep the bottles clean?! Dunno what's going on there as I was fastidious washing them last time too! :confused:

Nappies.... we bought a bambino mio pack for baby number 1, then he developed an umbilical hernia which frankly was a great excuse not to have to use them lol! All in all, a bit of a faff, we defaulted back to disposables & haven't looked back since - pampers work well for us! 🙂

Baby number one had chronic nappy rash (even changing every half hour or so! 😱)... sudocrem was okish, but bepanthem was the best for it... luckily madam doesn't seem so prone so far, phew!

As for the big dummies debate - I think they are fine! Whatever it takes to keep baby & mum happy I say! 🙂

Hope you are keeping well,
